Notes
- Use Seedless Grapes – Using seedless grapes gives a smooth texture and makes it hassle-free for blending. If you are using grapes with seeds, you need to strain the pulp carefully.
- Test before adding sugar – Grapes vary in sweetness, so it is better to taste the pulp first before adding sugar.
- Add Orange Juice – It brightens and balances the flavor. You can replace orange juice with lemon juice.
- Blend, strain, and freeze – It is important to blend and strain the mixture to remove the bits of skin and get a velvety finish.
- Freeze in shallow containers – Use wide, shallow containers to freeze sorbet faster and evenly.
- Blend every 2-3 hours while freezing – this step is important as it helps break the ice crystals and make sorbet smoother.
- Don’t over freeze – Let the sorbet freeze overnight. Don’t leave it for long or you might have a hard sorbet. Give resting time for at least 5 mins once you take it out from the fridge.
- Garnish for Extra touch – You can add fresh mint leaves, drizzle some chocolate sauce, honey, or even a bit of lemon zest.
